Rainey to IR. Colts sign Choice.

We lost our return man.

Choice, 5-10, 210 pounds, has played in 85 career games (four starts) with the Dallas Cowboys (2008-2011), Washington Redskins (2011) and Buffalo Bills (2011-13). He holds career totals of 361 rushing attempts for 1,535 yards and 10 touchdowns, along with 80 receptions for 569 yards. In 12 games with Buffalo this season, Choice rushed for 126 yards on 35 carries and caught four passes for 10 yards. As a rookie in 2008, he played in all 16 games (three starts) and totaled career highs of 92 rushing attempts for 472 yards and 21 receptions for 185 yards.

Rainey appeared in two games for the Colts this season and totaled six kickoff returns for 131 yards (21.8 avg.) and four punt returns for 29 yards (7.3 avg.). He was originally signed by the team on November 20, 2013.

Someone needs to rid the Colts of this injury curse. Ol Blu is out there with a voodoo doll no doubt.

You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....

Re: Rainey to IR. Colts sign Choice.

Rainey actually looked like he had some potential too. At least on KO returns. Much more than Reed's sorry arse ever did. Does choice do return work or are we looking at Rodger or Brazill or even TY again?

Choice has 3 kick returns in his NFL career. Sooo who knows what the plan is.

Why not just use anybody to kick return and instruct them to down it in the endzone every time? We very rarely get past the 20 anyway, plus no chance of a fumble. I just don't see kick returner being very important anymore unless you have one of those "special" guys on your team that could take it to the house at any time.
